As a long time foam builder, I am excited to announce my first balsa plane has been ordered!! it is the Dumas L-19 , kit #236. 18 inch wingspan, it is rubber powered and tissue covered. It doesn't seem to have a large following which is a little bit disappointing, but I think between RD Groups and the FT forums I'll be fine.
I have one question after reviewing all info on stick and tissue building. When I cover the plane, I understand I trace the perimeter of the part with glue (50/50 elmers glue and water from what I've read) but do I trace the ribs or structural struts under the tissue too?
Thanks,
Dark
